However, it is feasible to use this equipment in large-scale production because the cost of subsequent process treatment is reduced.
Due to the limitation of laser power and equipment volume, laser cutting can only cut plates and pipes with medium and small thickness, and the cutting speed decreases obviously with the increase of workpiece thickness.
Extended data:
During the cutting process, auxiliary steam suitable for the material to be cut is added. When cutting steel, oxygen, as an auxiliary steam, reacts with molten metal to oxidize the material and help blow away the slag in the cutting seam.
Compressed air is used to cut plastics such as polypropylene, and inert gas is used to cut flammable materials such as cotton and paper. The auxiliary steam entering the nozzle can also cool the focusing lens and prevent the smoke from entering the lens holder to pollute the lens and cause the lens to overheat.
